BackgroundPrevious studies on subgroups of adolescent non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behaviors have predominantly focused on community and school-based samples， with limited research on clinical samples. The precise identification of clinically distinct NSSI subgroups in adolescents is critical for optimizing medical resource allocation. ObjectiveTo explore the subgroups of NSSI in adolescent outpatients， and to provide references for intervening of NSSI behaviors. MethodsFrom May 2021 to April 2022， 192 adolescents who met the NSSI diagnostic criteria as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5） were recruited from psychiatry or psychology clinics at 6 hospitals in Fujian Province. Participants were assessed using the Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire （ANSAQ）， the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire （CTQ）， the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 item（DASS-21） and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale （DERS）. Latent profile analysis was conducted using Mplus 8.0. ResultsA total of 192 adolescents with NSSI behaviors completed the study， and the analysis yielded three subgroups of self-injurers： the mild self-injury group （50 cases， 26.04%）， the emotional disorder group （81 cases， 42.19%）， and the severe self-injury group （61 cases， 31.77%）. There were significant differences in the total scores of CTQ， DASS-21 and DERS among the three groups （F=8.058， 51.414， 48.742， P<0.01）. The severe self-injury group exhibited significantly higher scores in CTQ， DASS-21 and DERS when compared to both the mild self-injury group and the emotional disorder group （P<0.05）. Moreover， the emotional disorder group also reported notably higher DASS-21 and DERS scores in comparison to the mild self-injury group （P<0.05）. ConclusionClinical studies on adolescent outpatients engaging in NSSI behaviors reveal three distinct typological profiles， mild self-injury， emotional disorder-related self-injury， and severe self-injury. ［Funded by Fujian Social Science Planning Project （number， FJ2019B173）］

Objective:To explore the relationship between amniotic fluid and peripheral blood inflammatory factors and the pregnancy outcomes after emergency cervical cerclage, and to identify effective indicators for predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes after the procedure.Methods:A case-control study was conducted, including pregnant women who were hospitalized at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, from January 1, 2013, to July 31, 2019, and underwent emergency cervical cerclage due to cervical dilatation at gestational age between 16 and 28 weeks. A total of 85 pregnant women who underwent amniocentesis for the detection of amniotic fluid inflammatory factors during the perioperative period were included. Based on whether their baby was perinatal death, the participants were divided into the case group (28 cases with perinatal death) and the control group (57 cases with live births). Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, followed by multivariate logistic regression analysis to establish a regression model and nomogram.Results:(1) The levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 in the amniotic fluid during the perioperative period and postoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were significantly higher in the case group compared to the control group (all P<0.05). The case group underwent emergency cervical cerclage at an earlier gestational age compared to the control group, and their cervical dilation was greater than that of the control group (all P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the white blood cell counts, neutrophil percentage, and the level of preoperative CRP in the peripheral blood of pregnant women during the perioperative period (all P>0.05). (2) Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the levels of amniotic fluid WBC, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2 receptor (IL-2R), IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, postoperative CRP in the peripheral blood, gestational age at cerclage and cervical dilation were associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis indicated that only the levels of amniotic fluid WBC and TNF-α were independent risk factors for perinatal death. (3) Based on clinical practice, a multivariate logistic regression model was constructed including the levels of amniotic fluid TNF-α, WBC, gestational age at cervical cerclage, and cervical dilation. A nomogram and calibration curve were plotted, which suggested its good predictive value for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Conclusions:During the perioperative period of emergency cervical cerclage, the levels of amniotic fluid WBC, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2R, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, with amniotic fluid WBC and TNF-α showing the closest relationship. However, there is no significant correlation between maternal peripheral hemogram during the perioperative period and adverse pregnancy outcomes. A model constructed by amniotic fluid TNF-α, WBC, cervical cerclage gestational age, and cervical dilation has a good predictive effect on adverse pregnancy outcomes.

OBJECTIVE To study the unknown impurity in potassium aspartate and magnesium aspartate injection by heart-cutting two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with Quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (2D-LC-Q-TOF-MS). METHODS The Waters ACQUITY UPLC 2D system and Xevo G2-XS QTof-MS system were used. One- dimensional chromatographic conditions were as listed. An Agilent ZORBAX-NH2 column was used, and potassium dihydrogen thophosphate(0.05 mol·L-1)-acetonitrile(37∶63) as the mobile phase, at a flow rate of 1.3 mL·min-1. The detection wavelength was set at 200 nm. Two-dimensional chromatographic conditions were as listed. A Waters ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column was used, and 0.1% formic acid solution(ESI+)/5 mmol·L-1 ammonium formate(ESI-) as the mobile phase A, and acetonitrile as the mobile phase B, in gradient mode. The mass spectrometry used an electro spray ionization source(ESI) for positive and negative ion mode detection. RESULTS Combined the high resolution mass, MS2 fragment ions and the UNIFI software, the possible structure of the unknown impurity in potassium aspartate and magnesium aspartate injection was infered. CONCLUSION The 2D-LC-Q-TOF-MS method can be used to identify impurities in potassium aspartate and magnesium aspartate injection, which provides reference for the improvement of quality control and process optimization of potassium aspartate and magnesium aspartate injection.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for the determination of fourteen fluorescent whitening agents in cosmetics by HPLC-MS/MS. METHODS Samples were extracted on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC ®BEH C18(2.1 mm×50 mm, 1.7 μm) column after ultrasonic extracted by DMF with the mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.1% ammonia water solution by gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.3 mL·min-1. The column temperature was 40 ℃. MS was performed using triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Electrospray ionization source was operated in the positive/negative mode using multiple reaction monitoring scanning mode. RESULTS The results showed that there were good linear relationships for the fluorescent whitening agents in a certain concentration range with correlation coefficients(r) greater than 0.99. The limits of quantification were 0.01-20 μg·g-1 and the limits of detection were 0.004-8 μg·g-1. The average recoveries at three spiked levels were in the range of 85.4%-108.9%, and the relative standard deviation were in the range of 0.3%-7.2%. CONCLUSION The method has high sensitivity, strong specificity, simple and convenient operation, and is suitable for the detection of fourteen fluorescent whitening agents in cosmetics.

Taxa-4(5),11(12)-diene is the precursor for paclitaxel biosynthesis. The diterpenoid paclitaxel (marketed as Taxol), a plant secondary metabolite isolated from yew, is an effective drug widely used in the treatment of numerous cancers. However, further application of taxol has been restricted due to its low yield in plants and the difficulties in extraction. To increase the intact isoprene flux, we constructed the fusion gene plasmid pBgGGTS and individual cassette plasmid pBgGGgTS to enhance the expression levels of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase gene (ggpps) and a taxadiene synthase gene (ts) in Coprinopsis cinerea. These two plasmids were separately transformed into C. cinerea LT2 strain, resulting in several putative transformants. Putative transformants were determined by PCR technique, indicating that 5 out of 13 putative transformants transformed by pBgGGTS and 6 out of 13 putative transformants transformed by pBgGGgTS, respectively. Additionally, the Southern blotting analysis of these 10 transformants confirmed that both ggpps and ts gene were stably integrated into the genome of C. cinerea. Crude extracts from each of the transformants were analyzed. There is no difference in the mycelium extracts among the wild-type LT2 and two types of transformants. However, analysis of culture filtrates indicated that an additional GC peak was found at the retention time of 16.762 min which was absent in the wild type control. The mass fragmentation pattern of this peak had the same diagnostic ions with taxa-4(5),11(12)-diene. According to peak area, the amounts of taxa-4(5),11(12)-diene in each fermented broth were 44 ng/L (transformed with pBgGGgTS) and 30 ng/L (transformed with pBgGGTS), respectively. In conclusion, co-expression of the ggpps and ts gene could increase the taxadiene production in C. cinerea.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on type M prostatitis between the combined therapy of acupuncture and isolated-ginger moxibustion and tamsulosin.

METHODSOne hundred and ten patients of type III prostatitis were randomized into an acupuncture and moxibustion group and a tamsulosin group, 55 cases in each one. In the acupuncture and moxibustion group, acupuncture and isolated-ginger moxibustion were adopted. Two groups of acupoints were selected, named (1) Guanyuan (CV 4), Qugu (CV 2) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6); (2) Yaoyangguan (GV 3), Pangguangshu (BL 28) and Zhibian (BL 54). The two groups of points were used by acupuncture alternatively and only one group was selected a day. Isolated-ginger moxibustion was applied to Guanyuan (CV 4) and Zhibian (BL 54), once a day, 10 treatments made one session, and totally 3 sessions were required. In the tamsulosin group, tamsulosin was prescribed for oral administration, 0.2 mg, twice a day for 1 month. The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) score and expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) score were observed in the patients of the two groups.

RESULTSNIH-CPSI and EPS scores after treatment were all reduced apparently as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (all P < 0.05). The improvements in the acupuncture and moxibustion group were more obvious than those in the tamsulosin group (all P < 0.05). In 3 months follow-up, NIH-CPSI score in the acupuncture and moxibustion group was reduced apparently as compared with the tamsulosin group (P < 0.05). The curative rate and total effective, rate were 20.0% (11/55) and 85.5% (47/55) in the acupuncture and moxibustion group, and were 3.6% (2/55) and 61.8% (34/55) in the tamsulosin group respectively (both P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe combined therapy of acupuncture and isolated-ginger moxibustion achieves the good effect of relieving the symptoms of type III prostatitis and recovery of EPS, better than those treated with tamsulosin. This combined therapy spresents the better long-term efficacy.

Allotransplantation of peripheral blood-derived hemopoietic stem cells is the best therapy for acute leukemia. With increases of only-child families, sibling donors are decreasing. Moreover, the probability is low and time consuming is long to search a matched hemopoietic stem cell donor from the Chinese Marrow Donor Program. Haploidentical stem cell transplantation would bring a hope for donor resource. However, difficult transplantation and high incidence of graft versus host disease are two risks. Based on modified regimen and cyclosporine A+short-term amethopterin, mycophenolic acid, interleukin-11, anti-lymphocyte immunoglobulin and hemopoietic stem cells mobilized by recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor can prevent graft versus host disease. This therapy succeeded in two cases with no severe graft versus host disease.
